Landing at Orlando International Driving to Port St. Lucie -- Fun Food On a Friday Night?

[jayessemm]

I'm heading to Florida at month end. Flying into Orlando then driving to Port St. Lucie. I'll be tired, hungry, thirsty, ...

Any suggestions on fun -- but not too crazy -- place to get a bite and a drink late ish on a Friday night before we get too far on the road?

Many thanks

I would hit up a Millers Ale house...good food, fun vibe and stays open late.

That's not a bad choice either, and there is one close to the airport (which I didn't realize):

I don't know where you're from, but the best place I can recommend near the Orlando Airport is High Tide Harry's, a fun, laid-back, divey seafood restaurant.

We are staying at the airport for an early flight to Costa Rica...This might be a plan. We are at the dismal Marriott at the airport. This is close? Thanks LMF

If you mean High Tide Harry's, it's probably the best restaurant that's close to the airport, unless you want a chain (Chili's, Joe's Crab Shack, maybe one or two others).

It's super-casual, consistently-good seafood, and not expensive. I just checked Google Maps, and it's an eight-minute drive from the Orlando Airport Marriott, straight north on Semoran Boulevard (the main drag, aka State Road 436).
